sport horse. Get to know them better with this fun Q&A!<br />

Hallie Anders<br />

Beaumont, TX<br />

What is the name, breed, gender and age of your <strong>Arabian</strong>-bred sport horse(s)?<br />

DeKourated Dude++/, 18 year old gelding, Maxed in Chocolate+/, 8 year old gelding, Rheverence, 3 year old colt. They are<br />

all <strong>Arabian</strong>/Pintos.<br />

Which sport horse discipline(s) do you do with<br />

your horse?<br />

Western Dressage and <strong>Sport</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Under Saddle<br />

What was the most fun experience you had with<br />

your horse in <strong>2018</strong>?<br />

I would have to say Region 9 championships where<br />

we were Champions in Western Dressage Intro<br />

ATR and Reserve Champions in SHIH ATH. Dude<br />

was in 7 classes and got Champion or Reserve in<br />

all but 1 class.<br />

What sport horse discipline would you like to try<br />

that you haven’t tried yet?<br />

What is your favorite movie with horses and/or favorite movie horse?<br />

The Black Stallion - My horse Maxed in Chocolate+/ is a great x4 grandson of Cass Ole who played The Black in the<br />

movie.<br />

Who is your current instructor or trainer and what is the most important thing you have learned from them?<br />

Annie Wiggins and literally everything! Besides teaching me everything I know about horses, she teaches me to be a better<br />

person every day. She is the first to help anyone she meets, loan spurs, help with a training issue. I watched her help teach<br />

another junior how to ride Western Dressage at Pinto Worlds. The girl was in my same class and it didn't matter because<br />

that's what you do. The rider did very well for her first time and I won my first World Championship in the saddle. In the end<br />

you and your horse are competing against yourselves not the other people. They are there to push you to be better!<br />

What is your favorite competition (show, event, ride) and what makes it special?<br />

I love the Scottsdale <strong>Arabian</strong> Show. It just shows you how great this horse thing is when we all can get together...so many<br />

horses.<br />

What is your biggest challenge as a rider or competitor?<br />

Staying focused when I train. You really have to train like every lesson is a world competition because you will ride like you<br />

train.<br />
